Measurement and analysis of the Am 243 neutron capture cross section at the n-TOF facility at CERN
(2014-09-11)
Background: The design of new nuclear reactors and transmutation devices requires to reduce the present neutron cross section uncertainties of minor actinides. Purpose: Improvement of the Am243(n,γ) cross section uncertainty. ...
Measurement of the neutron-induced fission cross-section of Am-241 at the time-of-flight facility n_TOF
(2013)
The neutron-induced fission cross-section of Am-241 has been measured relative to the standard fission cross-section of U-235 between 0.5 and 20 MeV. The experiment was performed at the CERN n_TOF facility. Fission fragments ...
Measurement of the neutron-induced fission cross-section of Am-243 relative to U-235 from 0.5 to 20 MeV
(2011-12)
The ratio of the neutron-induced fission cross-sections of Am-243 and U-235 was measured in the energy range from 0.5 to 20 MeV with uncertainties of approximate to 4%. The experiment was performed at the CERN n_TOF facility ...
Neutron capture on Zr-94 : Resonance parameters and Maxwellian-averaged cross sections
(2011-07-15)
The neutron capture cross sections of the Zr isotopes play an important role in nucleosynthesis studies. The s-process reaction flow between the Fe seed and the heavier isotopes passes through the neutron magic nucleus ...
Astrophysics at n_TOF Facility at CERN
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2011)
The neutron time of flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN is a spallation neutron source with white neutron energy spectrum (from thermal to several GeV), covering the full energy range of interest for nuclear astrophysics, in ...
Neutron-induced fission cross-section of U-233 in the energy range 0.5 <E-n <20 MeV
(2011-01)
The neutron-induced fission cross-section of U-233 has been measured at the CERN n_TOF facility relative to the standard fission cross-section of U-235 between 0.5 and 20MeV. The experiment was performed with a fast ...
Neutron physics of the Re/Os clock. I : Measurement of the (n, gamma) cross sections of Os-186,Os-187,Os-188 at the CERN n_TOF facility
(2010-07-15)
The precise determination of the neutron capture cross sections of Os-186 and Os-187 is important to define the s-process abundance of Os-187 at the formation of the solar system. This quantity can be used to evaluate the ...
Neutron physics of the Re/Os clock. III : Resonance analyses and stellar (n, gamma) cross sections of Os-186,Os-187,Os-188
(2010-07-15)
Neutron resonance analyses have been performed for the capture cross sections of Os-186, Os-187, and Os-188 measured at the n_TOF facility at CERN. Resonance parameters have been extracted up to 5, 3, and 8 keV, respectively, ...
The Zr-92(n,gamma) reaction and its implications for stellar nucleosynthesis
(2010-05)
Because the relatively small neutron capture cross sections of the zirconium isotopes are difficult to measure, the results of previous measurements are often not adequate for a number of problems in astrophysics and nuclear ...
Au-197(n,gamma) cross section in the resonance region
(2010-04)
The (n,gamma) cross section of Au-197 has been measured at n_TOF in the resolved resonance region, up to 5 keV, with the aim of improving the accuracy in an energy range where it is not yet considered standard. The ...
